I had quite a few friends / acquaintances pass away right around the holidays. It prompted me to create a prayer:

Another year gone,

once again;

this one was called

twenty-ten

I hope no more friends,

go to Heaven;

in this New Year,

called twenty eleven



TREND Market Update: October 2010

Reunion is Over!

We, it's over! The 40th Reunion was a big hit!


Thanks to everyone that attended and supported the Reunion!
The hall looked fabulous, the music and food was terrific!

Classmates came from Colorado, Massachussets, Maryland, Florida, Texas, Arizona, Montana, Minnesota, California, and Alaska.

The Class of 1969 had a nice turnout given the short notice mailing, to only a short list (about half) of their original Class. Ray Deluca and Charlie Grandi will be looking for help to continue to locate missing classmates for future and interim reunions. If you would like to help, send an email to
cchsclassof70@hotmail.com

All total, we had 170+ attendees! For 30-40 minutes AFTER the music ended, and the bar was rolled away there were 30-40 classmates still lingering around! This Reeunion could have gone on for a few more HOURS!

The 45th Reunion, judging by the turnout at other schools will be a BIG Reunion.

We have directories printed, and after we catch our breath a little, we'll securely post online somewhere, or make it available by email to those that were not able to attend.

Classmates are already planning interim events, as this was too good of a time to wait 5 years again!

In fact, some are planning to attend the CCHS vs. Paul Vl football game, Wed. evening before Thanksgiving AT PAUL Vl High School.

And others are already talking about an ALL FLORIDA (IN Florida of course) Reunion for Classmates in the South-Southeast

Linda Schilling has created a photo album at Picassa. This has been updated with about 170 photos. Feel free to add to this album, and identify classmates in the "comments" section. We'll probably add tags to the pictures a little later.

REUNION UPDATE - SAVE THE DATE

The Friday, Nov. 12, 2010 date looks pretty firm now...

we are taking the larger room, at the Grand Versailles Ballroom in the Quality Inn at Rt 38 and Rt 73 in Maple Shade. Now we must guarantee a larger turnout ... (sweating). The smaller room would be too crowded if we get the turnout we think. We hear that the "40th's" are BIG

The larger ballroom is 6,000 square feet! has a huge dance floor! the room will accomodate 400 people!

Looks like we'll have a cash bar (drinks are reasonable), and buffet which should keep costs down. There are rooms to rent for those that would like to stay. It should go 5 hours, from 7pm to midnite.

Our next meeting is Jan 20th, at the high school. All are welcome to attend. Go in the rear entrance by the cafeteria, go staight down that hallway to the conference room on the right (it is across from the a

Classmate Leo Cammalerri has offered to do the DJ work! Go Leo!

We decided we are going to only do ONE mailing this time... we will depend more on 'Facebook', classmates.com, email and word of mouth...

our 1st mailing was always around May; we think getting the word out this early will give people more time to plan.

The word of mouth will be important since we only have a limited number of email addresses, plus some others on classmates (we are not even sure if people read the email from classmates?). If you forward the Reunion info to anyone, let us know so we don't waste time trying to locate and contact folks that already know about the reunion.

We are looking for any members of Class of 1969 that would like to head up a Reunion Committee for that class; they could attend our next meeting and we can help them get started.

I'll be putting a Reunion "Announcement" on classmates.com but will NOT be sending anymore emails via "classmates.com", I WILL keep sending from the www.cchsclassof70@hotmail.com account.

Have a nice Christmas!

Fabulous Croce Brothers Band

Remo and company really put on a GREAT show the night before Thanksgiving. I asked Pat to let me know their schedule for any upcoming appearances.

I think there were 7 pieces in the band, and they played non stop except for one 20-30 minute break.

I stayed longer than I thought I would, (1 am), and would have stayed longer, but by that hour I seemed to be the oldest patron. the music was still going strong when I left!

Reunion REVISED Tenative Date is now Nov.12, 2010

This is still Friday next year; however the Columbus Day date seemed to conflict with quite a few people.

NEW Tenative Date is Nov. 12, 2010

We will be previewing the facilities next week. We have pretty much decided on a cash bar to keep the costs down, and since some folks don't drink at all; besides their drink prices are reasonable.

The Class of 1969 once again is invited. If you know of anyone in that class that would like to coordinate, organize or contact classmates, we will be happy to help them.
